In a perfect world no child would be in child care. Every parent would be able to stay home with their infants and small children. They would read to them, teach them,feed and nurture them. But we are not in a perfect world, so as a child care professional of 34 years, I give the most and best caare that I possibly can to these little ones. I strongly feel that some of these babes only get the attention, cuddling, teaching, rocking in my home. I consider it my calling to fill their little day with all the tenderness I can. So daycare or childcare is not always a negative issue. These infants have older toddlers, and children to communicate with, learn from, and enjoy playing with. I do not believe that I am alone in this position and feel that there are many providers that these little ones into their hearts and love them dearly and fill amuch needed gap.
